For anyone willing to relocate, Norway is desperate for engineers and developers. Everybody gets 25 days vacation, near-free medical services, insurance and pension covered by employer, 40-hour working week being the norm, etc.

It's interesting that Ron Gilbert originally wanted to base SCUMM on Lisp: http://www.pagetable.com/?p=614 Of the few SCUMM script examples I've seen, I can't seem to understand what Gilbert means when he says: "It did things Lua could ne

If you liked this, you should really read the Wikipedia article on one-way functions, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_way_function Some tidbits: * "The existence of such one-way functions is still an open conjecture. In fact, their exis

One thing is the relatively large number of packages available for Chicken, especially for C libraries on UNIX. Therefore many use Chicken for systems and desktop programming on UNIX. A list of packages (called "eggs") is available at http

I've long wanted a good book that covers design principles in a way similar to how one would introduce a student to calculus, but for graphical design, layout and their interplay with typography. Most books I've found so far are merely coff

Agreed. My main worry is that he will artificially cram too much in those three, real time events.

Aaron Sorkin is, no doubt, a genius himself. But this sounds more like a stage play rather than something that would work as a movie.

I use iTerm2 on OS X with window splitting, with focus that follows mouse. Here is an example using several vim processes: http://i.imgur.com/Xsh8f.png Of course, you lose the ability to use vim copy buffers between the processes, but it

On a related note (corniest pun of the day), the Australian musical comedy act Axis of Awesome made a song called Four Chords Song , which is basically a 47-song medley all using the same chord progression. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Thanks for this. It's not the 90s anymore, that's for sure. I just tried my age-old adage of doing bit shifts and adds instead of multiplications. Turns out that's slower on an i7! The cool thing is that llvm-g++ actually recognizes my ba

That would be the case. Some people were unhappy with R6RS not keeping Scheme a minimal language anymore. Now they're making one "small" Scheme and one "big" Scheme. That's a good thing because they can actively decide what to put in the

Any decent textbook on databases would cover most of this, with the possible exception of parsing SQL. It will likely have an in-depth discussion of data structures to reduce disk access. I strongly recommend you read one such book more or

Most of this sounds like a _very_ big bag of hefty tricks. Closure conversion, lambda lifting, escape analysis and allocating on the stack, partial evaluation, etc. Maybe there are more clues over at https://engineering.purdue.edu/~qobi/p

To be completely honest, I'm reading Queinnec's book at the moment, and don't know the others first hand. They're just on my reading list. Lisp in small pieces is a fantastic book for Lisp implementers. It starts off with a simple eval an

So, Native Client allows you to run out-of-process, sandboxed, _native_ code in Chrome. Does that mean that the server needs to serve precompiled executables to visitors with different operating systems?
